Hi Adam,
Most prescriptions for TCAs in the UK are for low doses. Part of the reason is because they're widely used for insomnia and neuropathic pain but even the doses used for depression are low. It's rare for anyone to take more than 75mg a day of most tricyclics eg. dothiepin and amitriptyline, the two most widely used TCAs. For a long time, dothiepin was the most popular AD in England! Lofepramine, however, is given at higher doses 140-210mg/day.
